Serve these snacks at a Halloween party with family and friends․ Mummy dogs are created by wrapping hot dogs in thin slices of crescent roll dough and baking until the crescent roll dough browns․ Add candy eyes to make mummy dogs․ Slices of cheese can be included under the hot dogs for flavor․
Start by opening a crescent roll dough package and flattening the dough on a cutting board to make rectangles․ Cut the dough into strips 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide․ If you are adding cheese slices‚ cut them into strips․ Wrap each hot dog loosely with dough․ The assembled hot dogs will look like bandages‚ but the hot dogs will maintain their shape․
Wrap hot dogs and arrange them on a cookie sheet․ Bake according to package directions for crescent roll dough․ Hot dogs in the article linked above baked for 12-15 minutes at 375°F․ Crescent roll dough should be baked completely before adding eye decorations․ One tip: Don't fully wrap the top of a hot dog before baking․ Mistake to avoid: Fully wrapping the hot dog prevents you from adding eye decorations to the top․
After baking‚ use candy eyes and ranch dressing to decorate the dogs for a Halloween dish․ Refrigerate any leftovers for later use․ Dogs stored in the refrigerator may become soft‚ but you can reheat them and adjust the candy eyes to make them look better․
